JUDGMENT
This original petition is filed with following prayers:
"I. To call for the records leading to Exhibit P6 and set aside it.
II. Grant such other reliefs which the Hon'ble Court may deem fit in the facts and circumstances of the case." (sic)
2. The original petition is filed challenging Ext.P6 order, by
which the Family Court directed to pay interim maintenance to the 1 st
and 2nd respondents at the rate of Rs.7,500/- and Rs.5,000/-. This
Court admitted the above original petition and passed the following
order on 09.08.2023.
"Heard. Issue notice before admission to the respondents by Registered Post as well as serve a copy of this petition to the learned counsel appearing for the respondents before the trial court.
2. It is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that Ext.P6 order granting interim maintenance at the rate of Rs.7,500/- and Rs.5,000/- was passed without providing an opportunity for the petitioner to file objection.
O.P.(Crl.) No. 615 of 2023
Therefore, the order impugned shall stand stayed, on condition that the petitioner shall deposit an amount of Rs.4,000/- each as maintenance from the date of the petition and clear the arrears within a period of two weeks and continue to pay the amount till the disposal of the original petition by this court.
3. It is specifically ordered that, if the petitioner fails to pay the amount as directed within time and to pay the monthly allowance thereafter, there shall be no stay in executing the order impugned and the Family Court is at liberty to execute the order treating that there is no stay in operation to execute the order.
Post on 08.09.2023."
3. Even though notice was served, there is no appearance for
the respondents.
4. Today, when the matter came up for consideration, the
counsel for the petitioner submitted that the directions in the above
order are complied with. If that be so, there can be a direction to the
Family Court to dispose of the main case itself and till then the interim
order can continue. But I make it clear that the Family Court is free to
pass appropriate orders in the main case, untrammeled by the interim
order passed by this Court.
O.P.(Crl.) No. 615 of 2023
Therefore, this original petition is disposed of in the following
manner:
1. The order dated 09.08.2023 will continue till MC No.116 of 2023 is finally disposed of by the Family Court, Mavelikara.
2. The Family Court, Mavelikara will take every endeavor to dispose of MC No.116 of 2023, as expeditiously as possible.
